1. Introduction
The Video 107AGP 3D & TV brings to the PC unparalleled
price/performance 3D graphics. With rCADE3D™ acceleration for
pipelined single cycle graphics engines, 3D games can now take
advantage of Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) 2x with sideband
addressing for upto 533Mbyte per second. By adding Trident’s
TVXpress video encoder, THAMA™ brings no compromise DVD
playback to the desktop.
The Video 107AGP 3D & TV integrates the advanced rCADE3D™
3D/2D Accelerator with DVD, video, and digital TV into a single chip
solution. The rCADE3D™ combines advanced per pixel 3D setup and
rendering with 2D graphical user interface (GUI) acceleration. For high
speed low latency access, the Video 107AGP 3D & TV can fetch
textures stored in up to 8Mbytes of local memory. Taking advantage of
AGP’s Direct Memory Execution (DME) to fetch textures from main
memory, textures are no longer limited by local memory. For maximum
throughput, the Video 107AGP 3D & TV uses full AGP 2x with
sideband addressing. The Video 107AGP 3D & TV supports PCI
Version 2.1 with bus mastering.
The Video 107AGP 3D & TV’s Trident Hardware Assisted MPEG-2
Architecture (THAMA™) brings DVD playback to the multimedia PC.
Compared to software only DVD players, the combination of software
based decode and hardware based motion compensation delivers
smooth frame rates without overloading the processor.
With integrated circuitry supporting the Accelerated Graphics Port
(AGP), the Video 107AGP 3D & TV is a highly integrated display
control device that incorporates a 64-bit 3D/2D graphic engine and
video accelerator with advanced DVD video capability. It provides a
flexible and high performance solution for graphics and video playback
acceleration for various color depth and resolution modes.
The Video 107AGP 3D & TV supports a video capture port to import
captured live MPEG or MPEG2 video streams, or DVD decompressed
video streams to be overlaid with a graphics stream of mixed color
depth displays. In supporting dual live videos, the Video 107AGP 3D &
TV offers independent dual video windows ready for Videoconferencing
and with linear scaling capability.
